Connections Tips
Identify Common Categories
Look for words that could belong to a shared category, such as:
Colors: Red, Blue, Yellow, Green.
Professions: Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, Chef.
Animals: Cat, Dog, Lion, Elephant.
Start with Obvious Groups
If you see words that immediately jump out as belonging together (e.g., months of the year or U.S. states), try grouping those first. This will narrow down the options for more challenging groups.
Check for Double Meanings
Some words can belong to multiple groups. For instance, "Apple" could refer to a fruit or a tech company. Pay attention to words that might fit into more than one category.
Stay Open to Abstract Themes
Be ready for more abstract connections like emotions, actions, or categories like "Things that Fly." This can help with the trickier groups.
